The government has heard at a number of rinks that it is too expensive to keep the power going in the off season.

We think it’s the right thing to do, Morgan said of the relief program.

Morgan added that for those who go to the rinks, to make sure they wear a mask and keep away from others.

SaskPower explained that the rinks use a lot of electricity when their factories are running.

To be eligible for this program, a rink must be a community-owned, non-profit rink or curling rink operated by a local municipality or First Nations community.

Morgan said interested rinks should contact SaskPower who will give them a form to fill out.

SaskPower predicts that the average rink will save about $ 1,600 per month during operations and about $ 330 per month when closed for the season. The Crown corporation plans to invest $ 700,000 in this program.
